Abstract

Adult educators work to alleviate poverty in developing communities. Proper management of available resources through an inter-sectorial coordinated approach contributes to widen access to interventions. A descriptive analytical survey among respondents from a developing country has revealed existence of some form of collaboration that could be enhanced by drawing a common budget for collaborative activities, using radio as a communication media, concentrating policy-making at the local level and building a coordinating team that is representative of all partners in development from the local beneficiary communities.
